Asim Azhar reacts to Rajab Butt criticism

Pakistani musician Asim Azhar has come up with a statement after being trolled for his recent song’s cover version ‘Tu Hai Wohi Dil Ne Jise Apna Kaha’ and controversy involving social media star Rajab Butt.

Social media was divided over the singer’s take on the famous track, with many users condemning the performance and saying the original song had been ruined.

The dispute escalated when Rajab Butt posted a lip-sync video in support of the song. Asim Azhar thanked the influencer for the gesture but his reply prompted more criticism from social media users who questioned his decision to recognise the support.

Asim Azhar reacts to controversy over his TikTok video. Amid the rising reaction, Azhar took to Instagram to remark that someone praising him and him replying to someone’s appreciation does not mean that he shares the same ideas or principles.

He said he understood the worries of his followers and supporters and agreed with many of them, adding that his purpose was just to respond to kindness with compassion and that the problem was not as serious as it had been portrayed.

On a happier note, the musician asked fans to keep on enjoying his new music and luscious mangoes.

The clarification has not stopped debate on social media. Some admirers believe the singer should not have taken Rajab Butt’s assistance while followers of the influencer have condemned Asim Azhar for stepping away after public response.
